If you get fish online, you'll be paying atleast $30-40 on shipping depending on where you get them. And I haven't seen Multies less than $5 each online and that was on a site that prefers to ship Fed Ex overnight ($$$$). I'm currently looking for Multies as well, but I just can't afford that site.
You may want to change your shell dweller choice if you want to get them soon. I've seen L. occelatus on Aquabid, but not sure how they shipped them. I've seen Brevis as well, but they form pairs.
Cyps are going to be really expensive (I'm being honest!). Especially if you buy them online. They don't ship well, so you'll want to buy more than what you want to keep (just to be sure). Or be prepared to lose some. That is if you can find somewhere that ships them. Alot of sellers on AB prefer pickup only (just because they don't ship well).
Sorry I don't have better advice, but I just wanted to answer your questions about setting up a Tang tank on a budget. Its really hard! Thats why I opted not to do that for now and wait until I had more money (and a bigger tank....).
